Microsoft officially introduced the new Windows 8 pricing on February 1, but those looking to get the new operating system at a very low price can still do so thanks to third-party retailers.

While most people head over to the Microsoft website to buy Windows 8, Amazon is selling it much cheaper, GHacks.net writes.

The standard price of the new Windows 8 is $199.99 (€149.99), but Amazon is selling a copy of the operating system for $104.99 (€78.5). This is $95 (€70) less than the original price of the product, so this is your chance to get an almost 50 percent discount for Microsoft’s latest operating system.

While Amazon’s discount is also available in some European countries, not all retailers are offering price cuts for Windows 8, so make sure you search the web thoroughly before buying it.

I wouldn't 'buy' it,if it was FREE.

Like everything in America,it's horrendiously expensive & useless.

That is a pretty racist and stupid comment. You probably wouldn't "buy" anything, but that is irrelevant. Windows 8 is probably the best OS available today. You might struggle to learn it, so it's probably best that you are not buying it.

Why would anyone pay more than $50 for such a horrible operating system. I need it cheap only to learn it in order to assist customers.
